Burn ascetic at HARVALS RESTING PLACE (Not the place before the boss, where i'm standing.). Sorry if this caused any confusion, I know the video depicts me at that bonfire, but that's not the bonfire that you need to ascetic! D: Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it! I'm really excited to see the support from this community! http://www.twitch.tv/dj_Magikarp

have to*

i have burn an ascetic also in ng+?

Bowman Gunthry is quicker in SOTFS. He respawns infinitely, the bonfire is close to you, and all he uses is Avelyn, so a shield with a few soul spears or great lightning bolts will wreck him. It's more efficient time wise this way.

So offline mode is mandatory??
Shit..Just wasted an ascentic..

This still works. Join the Champions covenant, go offline, burn a Bonfire Ascetic at bonfire, kill invader Rhoy, and recieve an Awestone. Rinse and repeat, you have to burn a Bonfire Ascetic every 12th time, doesnt matter if you are in Champions covenant, All the instructions he gives in the video are important, like going offline. As an added bonus you can farm Rat Tails for the Rat Covenant by killing rats, they also drop some nice useful consumables like Poison Moss and Life Gems. Use a fast weapon when killing rats, they are very fast and often get in a hit before your ultragreatsword can finish the job. As an added bonus after killing Rhoy 3-4 times, you should go to Soldiers Rest bonfire in FoFG to the giant tree and pick up a Seed of a Tree of Giants Good luck :)

Hmm do you have to kill the Rat boss in order for Rhoy to spawn?

Somehow this is not working for me, he won't respawn not even with bonfire ascetics, maybe it was deleted in an update?

If you have SotFS you only need to burn 1 ascetic and he'll keep spawning forever.

Good video but you could've joined the Champions so that way the enemies will never despawn instead of continuously increasing the difficulty anyway thanks

does this still work?

thx. thats easy peasy.

is offline mode a suggestion to prevent invaders? or is it necessary for that specific red invader to spawn? could i just burn a human effigy?

good method! but even easier and all chars can do it because no need of 20 faith is: use a Dagger, unupgraded one and press 3 times 2H R2 Attack. Poor Rhoy has no chance at all. Rest is the same as in your strat. Hide in door over the bridge. wait for Rhoy to be almost at the door and attack - 3 well timed attacks!

I like to use Zweihander two handed R2 to get him off the edge it's quite effective

Hey Spogsta, thank you for your video! I just have a short question, does every phantom respawn 12 times in offline mode or just this special one?

Wiw

Thanks for all the support guys!! so close to 50k views! I can't believe it! Please subscribe if you enjoyed the video...I'll be doing other tutorials and playthroughs (that aren't as informational!). Thanks all!

I'm guessing using force isn't allowed in the fist only challenge run :P
The game is already hard enough with fist only, it would be hellish while in the champions cov, so I'll just continue with my first without being in that cov then :P

If you're not a mage/cleric player, just two-hand a dagger, doesn't even have to be upgraded, and spam the R2 button from the exact same spot. Knocks him clean off the edge.
